Is there a known good source for SPEC parts?

[ampman]

Hi,
Recently bought a Spec-1 that was on a tech's bench used as a switching device (as I understand). This unit appears to have been a donor unit used to keep other units in service as various parts are missing. The unit is operational and rather well. Great!!!
But I want to restore it as best possible and am looking for various knobs and the top and bottom covers. Are there know good sources for SPEC (Pioneer) parts?

To answer the question. Yes, I will be looking to complete a SPEC system as the SPEC bug is completely in control.

Thanks for your help.

eBay. You'll have to wait until somebody parts out a unit.

Might want to part it out and find a full unit. There's plenty full units out there and your unit could save others.

I am a restorer of vintage equipment so it is an option, but I attempt to save units, if possible to rebuild. Thanks.

You will have to set up some saved searches on eBay with part numbers and descriptions then set notifications to bump you when anything that meets your parameters shows up. Could take a long time. Might as well set one up for the whole unit as well and wait for another cheap/parts unit to show up and make a whole one out of both.
